Hi!

I finally got the time to try and deploy a simple WebMatrix site. Right now it's just a web.config, a couple of CSS files and a Default.cshtml file. However when I try to access the app URL I get a 403 Forbidden error. If I add /Default.cshtml to the base URL it gives me a 404. The CSS files are there, I can access /styles/reset.css with no trouble. Is there anything I need to do to my site to make it work?

Thanks,
/Jesper

   Did you add these lines to your web.config? I had to get that to get the URL rewrite to work properly:

      <system.webServer>
           <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
      </system.webServer>

   Fixed format of snippet:

      <system.webServer>
           <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
      </system.webServer>

   I just pushed a very simple one to AppHarbor with just 2 cshtml files and a Web.Config:

   http://testwebmatrix.apphb.com/

   I did use Index.cshmtl rather than Default.cshtml but I don't think that should matter.

   All the web.config had was this content:

     <system.web>
         <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />
     </system.web>
   
     <system.webServer>
         <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
     </system.webServer>

   Aha! The compilation flag seemed to solve the problem. Thanks! :-)
